If your not the brothel type of guy, well in that case, you should try the Philippines because lot of members here live and work in the Philippines. We got Publicduende, Marcos Zeitola, Winston Wu, Ladislav who knows a lot of the Philippines. Go ask them or private message them. One of the downside is you have to support not only your girlfriend/wife but also her entire family. However cost of living is much cheaper then the U.S and Filipinos are warm and friendly people.

In Europe- the Baltics, and the Balkans might be a good choice. Women in Western Europe has been affected by feminism and most of them are stuck up mannish c*nts. Western European women are not worth the trouble.
Please don't go to East Asian(China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea). East Asians are some of the most stuck up and repressive people on the planet. Not worth it.
I cannot comment about the all destinations, but it depends on the individual.
Of course if you have enough money you can live everywhere you like, but this is often not the case and many who tried it out to relocate either failed and left going back home from where they came from - or continue to stay but face a very modest living standard.

I think, if you are short of money it is better - at least for some years - you better look around in Western part of Europe and also in Far East Asia - you will need a regular job and proper documents and also medical insurance to survive abroad. - If not you are out of money quickly and on an airplane going home.
Going home after running out of money? It must be a terrible feeling - but visa problems/working permits etc in some certain countries can be solved only with money. Suddenly required medical treatment which can be costly in such places like Philippines and make you a poor man overnight without insurance cover to pay the bills for you, to become a victim of crime is easy in some cheap countries and as a foreigner you are advised to pay for a secure housing - think seriously about it....

About myself as an European, I have no complaints about Japan since more than 40 years, neither with my Japanese family or with the Japanese authorities. Very good living standard, especially after my retirement - own condominium-unit fully paid, 2 cars, motorcycle, no financial problems at all, health insurance for life, no crimes in my area and I can go out day and night, clean water supply, garbage-free streets, shops open up to late night...
I also bought later on, about 20 years ago, a second home for our family holidays/retirement in Thailand. Very short and cheap flight from Japan. Also visit Philippines sometimes, because of my Filipina fosterdaughter in Cebu.
Thailand and Philippines are nice countries and not far away from Japan, but to work there, to earn money? How?
Also Thailand is not really visa-friendly for long-stay and has harsh conditions about long-stay visa/working permits and does not offer any public health insurance cover to foreigners - but it is forcing you to pay for a private health insurance and this costs quite a lot of money.....
You cannot live so cheap as locals can do as a foreigner, keep this in mind. There are various additional expenses/restrictions etc. to consider.
